If you swap a 2h weapon in enchanter then put in a dif weapon you get a different set of possible rolls.
you no longer have to keep rerolling and getting the same 5 affix options.
Exploit?
You mean Fix?
Like the BiS sword that’s stuck rolling 1 stat for 12 times and costing me double to reroll because I only have 1 random Affix vs what SHOULD be 2 random Affixes?
can you explain what you mean better? i dont get what you are saying exactly

exactly, no more rerolling 10 times to keep getting the same set of affixes show up.
So i just stick the 2h in the window and swap it with the 1h and select “enchant”?
Or do I have to enchant the 2h first then swap?
edit - I really can’t stand this current ‘iteration’ of the Occultist.
Blind rerolls, 143,000 jumps to 854,000… or 453,000 or … so inconsistent and expensive and bugged to boot.

I’m so genuinely confused, reading this. Am I having a stroke?

Chris is referring to the Occultist BUG where an item gets stuck in an Affix LOOP.
1 of 2 “Random” rolls is forever locked in as X Affix hence costing us double the materials and gold due to the fact we only have 1 Random Affix and 1 Fixed.
-50% Random Affixes = 2x price per roll.

love that when a bug is harming player gameplay its up to ourselves to figure out how we can play around it, but when a bug is discovered which gives players loot in a loot grind game devs wake up in the middle of the night, drive into the office, disable the items all together and have an emergency meeting.

At least I assume that’s what Chris is referencing.
People have run tests and there’s Loops and many many repeats.
So I assume they’re saying a 2h weapon will ‘reset’ the affix pool available(in case it gets hard locked in bugged mode).
I still don’t know exactly HOW they’re saying to do this …
er… I mean “The exact Method”
so true 
/20charac
So can you elaborate on the specific method?
I would love to break my sword out of the Occultist Affix Loop of Doom Hell it’s in.
Wow.
And the fact that people kiss this games azz with so much broken. I wonder how many people wasted forgotten souls with this bug… I mean “Feature”
Well it’s a bit pricey to begin with and it’s been shady since day 1.
Wudijo…Wujido…always get spelling wrong - he did a nice test a bit back that clearly showed how broken it is.
It’s been known for some time that there’s a problem.
For me: It always “felt” off and over time I’ve personally confirmed that yes, something is wrong.
Though with gloves and rings when I need APS or Crit Chance… I’ve never complained

i also thought something was up when i would roll 2 different values of fire dmg at the same time multiple times on an item. that just isnt realistic probability without it being broken.
i mean … i feel ya, and i hate a lot of d4…
but - in blizzards defense here (i know…i know…), do you want them to disable occultist? or what?
Are you being facetious or having a laugh?
honestly yes. if they are aware it is wasting player time/gold/resources it should get the same treatment.
will post a video soon with more details. need to reroll more stuff first on other gear
Right.
Though that’s …rng it’s still something that shouldn’t happen.
Someone posted pics of Double Overpower Rolls - iirc they also had OP Affix on their item.
Feels bad.
D3’s Mystic went through a vast number of QOL adjustments over the years.
They should take a page(ideally the most recent) out of that “Enchanter’s” book.
Finally - IF prices are not going to change then a RULE needs to be implemented.
Rule of Progression - Occultist should be something we work and grind for but there’s always the chance it IMPROVES - never degrades.
Basically:
The Occultist should NEVER give a Lower Value of an Affix already on an item.
ie. you have 3.2% Crit. 2% is min & 7% is max.
At these prices you should absolutely never see anything Lower than 3.2% → your investment should = Improvement.
Keep the RNG 100% but don’t give me lesser values.
